My Magic Age

We walked south along the naturally occurring path in the Black Forest. Justus was leading the way on horseback. His body was swaying on the horse and he looked like he might fall down at any time. He was holding on with both hands. Reins, looking a little lethargic.

The forest was filled with the smell of rotten wood, and the dense canopy seemed airtight, making the warriors walking in the jungle feel a little stuffy.

The temperature was not too high, but I was sweating all over and had a sticky feeling on my body.

The rotten smell seemed to seep into my body, as if I myself was a piece of rotten wood.

Ying Li was riding on the ancient Bolai horse. Her face turned red and she kept taking out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on her face. She rode with Helena and Becky on the forest road side by side, speaking softly with a thousand words. Laugh and chat.

Die followed Ying Li on horseback. Her riding skills were excellent. Her hands hardly needed to hold the reins. Her eyes looked up to the sky through the dense woods from time to time. Her dragon companion was wandering in this forest area. Even so, Ledie must blow a whistle into the sky every half an hour. The sharp whistle can be heard far away. Every time the whistle is blown, a faint dragon sound can be heard in the sky. Yin, the Yalong always followed Ledie.

This forest road has no overgrown branches, no thorns and bushes, no scattered vines hanging from the tree crowns, no muddy swamps, and no fallen dead trees lying across the road. Countless people stepped on it.

After our team passed by, the road slowly returned to its original appearance, with criss-crossing vines, low cranberry bushes, and a layer of slippery moss growing close to the ground.

We don’t know how far the lord aura of the ancient war tree in Dustwallow Swamp can help us go. Maybe it’s no longer within the range of the lord aura of the ancient war tree. Now it’s possible that the person helping us move forward is Black. Those tree spirits in the forest, I reached out and touched the leaf in my arms. This was the token given to me by the ancient war tree. It is said that only by taking it to find the ancient war tree in the Jue Valley can I obtain the leaf. Guys trust.

I sat on the shoulders of the tauren Luca. Luca told me many stories about what happened in Tanton City along the way. The tauren told me that he would rather stay in Trudeau than in Mr. Billy’s hotel. In the camp.

Justus walked in front with 450 barbarian slaves. Count Rez and Knight Jason walked in the middle of the team with their team of construct knights. Yingli and I followed behind their team. Kalancso led the orc construct warriors at the back of the team, and the entire team stretched far into the jungle.

Count Rez rode his horse at a deliberately slow pace and walked side by side with me on the forest road. He asked me: "Count Guiga, how did you obtain this barbarian slave infantry regiment?"

Luka and I laughed in unison when we heard him ask this.

Count Reitz was a little surprised, but he still turned to look at me patiently.

I said to Count Reitz: "I captured them all on the outskirts of El City."

"Uh..." Count Reitz never thought that I would give him such an answer.

I set my sights in the distance and said to Count Rez: "My hometown is a border city called El City in Shloit Province. It is adjacent to the Pai Plateau to the west, and the Ulutu River flows from Pai. The Shengxue Mountain in the eastern foothills of the plateau passes all the way through. The northern foothills of the wilderness, the Yelian Mountains, and then flow through the town of Gurudin and run eastward to Baipu Cliff. After entering the territory of the Green Empire, this river is called the Benma River by us northerners, and El City is located there. The south bank of the Benma River in the western part of Sloit Province.”

“Every winter, after the Galloping River freezes, Celtic barbarians will cross the Galloping River and come to Sloit Province to catch slaves. They will capture the men in the villages. These barbarians They will bring the men from the north back to the ice and snow tundra and throw them into the mines to mine.”

"When I was young, I once traveled to the cities in the northern part of the Green Empire. The folk customs there were rough and hospitable. People there liked to drink golden cider and regarded barbarians as their mortal enemies."

"In every city in the north, there will be self-organized groups that resist the barbarian slave hunting. In the city of El, these warriors are called falcons."

I seemed to be telling a story that had nothing to do with me. When Count Reitz heard "Falcon", he couldn't help but said: "Wow, that sounds like a cool name! So..."

I knew he wanted to listen, so I continued: "Before leaving El City, I was also a member of the Falcon Squadron. I captured these barbarian slaves in the past three years. I think Simply killing them was not enough to wash away the sins they had committed, so I signed a slave contract with them and made them my slaves.”

Count Reitz didn't know anything about barbarian warriors. He asked me: "I heard that barbarians have violent personalities and are not afraid of death. Most of them are unwilling to surrender easily. How did you make them surrender?"

"Those barbarians who refused to surrender are now lying in the dirt." After the minotaur Luca finished speaking, he glanced at him and wondered why Count Reitz didn't understand such a simple truth.

Count Reitz changed the subject and said to me: "The black iron heavy armor of the Naqma people is really suitable for these barbarian slaves to wear!"

Knight Jason, who was following Count Reitz, said at this time: "Our knights also harvested some excellent Naqma armors in the Kenda plane. Unfortunately, after returning to the imperial capital, no lord was willing to collect them. In the end, those heavy armors were sold to the blacksmith for remaking weapons."

Count Reitz pointed to the black iron trousers on the barbarian slaves and said to Jason Knight behind him: "Jason, look at the black iron trousers and armor worn by the barbarian slaves. They were probably remade in the blacksmith shop." Forged."

Knight Jason looked at the barbarian slaves and said with emotion: "I have been in the army for more than ten years, and this is the first time I have seen a crossbow that can still be used like this..."

Later, Count Rez chatted with me about the orc construct warriors behind him. He asked me: "Count Jijia, where did you recruit these orc construct warriors from?"

"Nine years ago, the Pai Plateau suffered a severe snowstorm that had never been seen in a century. That winter, countless orcs starved to death in that wilderness. At that time, some orcs had to leave their homes and follow the road of death in the western foothills in order to survive. After going down to the plateau to wander in Sloit Province, these orcs on the Pai Plateau are a group of lowly wanderers in the Northern Province. They do the most painful, tiring and lowly jobs in the northern cities, but they still cannot Get food and clothing.”

"Four years ago, by chance, I saw these poor orcs in the coal field outside Ayr City, so I had a preliminary idea. I gathered them and made them my followers. It is precisely because of their help in the past few years that I have such a large number of catches. Many barbarian slaves. As for these magic pattern structures and black scale horses, my mentor at the Imperial Magic Academy is the famous inscription master Yerkes Scholar, and a good friend of mine happens to come to Durva Province. He helped me get a hundred war horses, so I have this hundred-man construction warrior group."

Kalancso followed me, the look in his eyes was so gentle and firm.

I expressed my request to Count Reitz: "They cannot be called construct knights for the time being, because they have not learned to share the power in their bodies with the war horses, so I have a merciless request, Count Reitz , can you teach these orcs some knights’ combat skills without going against your wishes?”

Count Reitz thought carefully, then looked at the Jason Knight beside him, and finally said: "This...if it's just the most basic riding and combat skills, I have nothing to reserve, after all, the Knight Academy Li Zao has turned these things into a tactical manual, which can be found in any bookstore You can buy it anywhere, but I think the knowledge in the book will inevitably be a bit dogmatic. I can give them the most basic rules of knights. If it is advanced combat techniques, although it is not convenient for me to disclose them, I can't stop them. The orc construct warriors learn this on their own as we fight."

Hearing Count Retz say this, I knew that he did not reject these orc warriors, so I said happily: "Thank you so much for saying this."

Earl Reitz smiled, glanced again at the group of orc construct warriors behind him, and said with emotion: "Now I really understand why Prince James specially told me to stay in the Hierro plane. We will fully cooperate with your actions. It turns out that you actually have such a well-equipped army in the Hierro plane."

"It's okay!" I scratched my head and said to Earl Leitz with a smile: "Actually, our goal is the same, to help Princess Ledie untie her heart knot and then send her to the imperial capital safely."

Count Reitz glanced at Princess Ledie who was walking in front of the team and said to me: "That's right!"

…

Justus suddenly stopped in front. I rushed up with the tauren Luka. Katarina and Kalantso followed me. When I reached the front of the team, I discovered that the black forest in front was covered with dense branches and leaves. Covered up, a road suitable for large troops can no longer be found.

"There's no road ahead!" Justus jumped off his horse and motioned to the barbarian slave warriors to rest where they were. Then he took out a map from his backpack and marked the current approximate location of our team with a black charcoal pen. , and then said to me: "Our team is here now. From now on, we have to arrange for the waiting team to go at the front, and we have to open up a path ourselves. Maybe we will encounter a group of spiders at some time." Human warrior.”

This is probably the outermost boundary of the Halo of the Ancient Tree Lord in the Dustwallow Swamp War. From here onwards and heading towards the southern area of ​​the Black Forest, all surveillance and investigation will have to rely on our own strength. More importantly, our The journey has just begun. According to the distance shown on the map, it will take at least half a month to reach the desperate valley.

Without the help of the Ancient War Tree, the road in the jungle would never be as easy as before, and there are unknown dangers lurking in the entire jungle, which we need to be cautious about.

I said to everyone, "Maybe there's a giant spider lurking in the canopy of every tree, and we have to be careful."

At this time, Count Reitz and Knight Jason rushed over from behind. They asked me: "What happened, why did you stop?"

"From here on, we officially enter the jungle area controlled by the Nibru tribe's spider people." I answered.

Looking at the unscrupulous barbarian slaves behind them, the successive victories in the black forest have made these barbarian slaves a little swollen. They may think that the spider warriors are nothing more than that. In fact, in the area around Trum camp, We took advantage of our home field advantage, but here, we are once again back on the same starting line as the Nibru Spider-Man. Perhaps we are far less familiar with this place than the Nibru Spider-Man.

I said to Kalantso: "Kalantso, go and mobilize a five-person scout team and ask them to stay two kilometers away from us in front of the large army. If there is danger, they will release magic flares." Notify us."

Kalancso never questioned any of my orders and quickly agreed: "Yes." After saying that, she pulled the reins of the horse and ran towards the back of the team.

"Katerina, go up there and search for those giant spiders lurking on the tree crown." I pointed to the leafy tree crown and said to Katerina.

Catalina agreed: "Yes."

With the help of their nimble bodies, several people jumped up to the crown of the tree and disappeared among the dense branches and leaves.

Deborah has been following Kalantso. I pulled her and said to her: "Deborah, fly to the sky. I need you to tell me the exact location of the nearby spider camp."

Perhaps because of role models like Kalantso, Deborah also answered very readily: "Understood!"

After saying that, he spread his wings and flexibly passed through the gaps between the leaves and branches, flying out of the dense forest.

After all these instructions were completed, Count Reitz, who was standing aside, said to me: "There is a construct knight named Becky in our team. He is the most experienced scout in our guard camp. Otherwise, let him follow your Orc construct warriors go to the front to investigate the situation?"

Obviously, Count Reitz specially arranged for experienced knights to take our orc warriors to the front for reconnaissance.

"Of course this is the best!" I said to Count Reitz.

It didn't take long for Kalancso to bring five orc warriors. I arranged for them to go to the front with Beqi Knight to investigate the enemy's situation, and told these orc warriors to humbly learn some reconnaissance skills from Beqi Knight. These five orc warriors all They are the best young orcs that Karan caught off guard. They are energetic, alert, and thoughtful, so they are naturally the most suitable candidates.

The five orc warriors and the Becci Knight rode their horses through the dense forest with overgrown branches and leaves, and ran to the front to detect the enemy's situation.

At this time, the barbarian slaves became very excited, and they whispered while resting.

I asked Justus curiously: "What happened to these barbarian slaves?"

Justus said to me: "They probably thought there would be some food ahead!"
